The first commercial firewall shipped in 1992. 25 years later the firewall is still the core building block of enterprises’ security infrastructures.
Please join Prof. Avishai Wool, AlgoSec’s CTO, on Tuesday, April 10 at 10am ET for an educational webinar on the history of the firewall. He will take you through a riveting 25-year journey of the evolution of the firewall - from the ancient world of the host-based firewalls of the 90s, to today’s cloud-based firewalls, and will explain how each type of firewall works, its advantages and limitations, and provide some tips and best practices for effective network filtering.

In this highly informational, and entertaining webinar Professor Wool will cover:

Today, most enterprises are moving at least some of their business applications to the cloud. Yet while the cloud is extremely agile, it also adds a new level of complexity when it comes to network security.

The cloud introduces a software-defined security architecture that is fundamentally different from the organization’s existing on-premise network, and as a result, many enterprises now struggle with migrating application connectivity to the cloud, and managing the cloud security controls alongside their traditional firewalls in a secure and compliant way.

In this webinar, Edy Almer, VP Product at AlgoSec, provides technical insight and security best practices for migrating and managing security across the hybrid AWS environment.

This webinar will cover:

· Understanding network security before, during and after migrating your applications to AWS

· How to identify and migrate the relevant application connectivity flows to AWS

A single change to a network device can have far reaching effects on your business. It can create security holes for cyber criminals, impact your regulatory audit, and even cause costly outages that can bring your business to a standstill!

In this technical webinar, Anner Kushnir, VP Technology at AlgoSec, will present several examples of common misconfigurations; including a basic device change, business application connectivity changes, and data center migrations. The webinar will cover best practices and demonstrate specific techniques to help you understand and avoid misconfigurations, and ultimately protect your business from attack.

Join the webinar to discover how to:

•Understand and map your enterprise infrastructure topology before you make a change
•Proactively assess the impact of a change to ensure it does not break connectivity, affect compliance or create a security hole
•Avoid common mistakes when making changes to your network security devices
•Understand business requirements from the network security perspective

The constant barrage of application connectivity and network security policy change requests, while fighting a relentless battle against cyber-attacks, means your security management efforts need to be focused on what matters most - ensuring that your business applications continue to run smoothly while remaining secure and compliant.

During this technical webinar, Asher Benbenisty, Director of Product Marketing at AlgoSec, will discuss how taking an application-centric approach to security policy management will improve both your security and operational efficiency.

In the webinar, you will learn how to:

•Gain insight into your company’s security policy management maturity level
•Understand your business applications’ network connectivity - including discovering and mapping the connectivity flows
•Identify security risks across your enterprise network and prioritize them based on business criticality
•Securely migrate business application connectivity and security devices to a new data center

Migrating applications to the cloud or to another data center is a complex and risky process. First, you need to understand the applications you are currently running (application discovery). Then, you need to define and map the existing application connectivity flows (pre-migration), so that you can easily reestablish them post-migration.

If done manually, this is a difficult and time-consuming process, and a single mistake can cause outages, compliance violations and create holes in your security perimeter.

Understanding the migration destination is just as important; cloud security architecture is fundamentally different from physical networks, and it is extremely difficult to translate the network connectivity flows to the cloud security controls and then manage network security policies cohesively across the entire hybrid enterprise environment. All in all, migrating application connectivity is a complex, tedious and error-prone process that can take months and often compromises security, compliance and business agility.

In this webinar, Avivi Siman-Tov, Product Manager at AlgoSec, will explore how to simplify and accelerate large-scale complex application migration projects, while making security a priority.

DevOps enables companies to deliver innovations faster to market. But with multiple functional teams collaborating on development, and so many moving parts, security is often left out of the DevOps process and then tacked on at the end - delaying deployment into production and negating many of the benefits of DevOps.

Presented by renowned industry expert Prof. Avishai Wool, this new technical webinar will cover best practices for incorporating security into the DevOps lifecycle. This insight will help ensure better collaboration between security and the development teams right from the start and reduce the time, cost and risk of deploying applications into production.

In this webinar Professor Wool will cover how to:
•Identify and map existing applications and their connectivity flows to establish a baseline
•Adjust application connectivity for each stage of the DevOps lifecycle – without coding
•Automatically deploy connectivity throughout the development lifecycle using templates
•Proactively assess risk and compliance throughout the DevOps process
•Manage and maintain security in the production environment

Network segmentation is an effective strategy for protecting access to key data assets, and impeding the lateral movement of threats and cyber criminals inside your data center. With network virtualization, such as VMware NSX and Cisco ACI now a reality it's far simpler to set up granular security policies for east-west traffic within the data center. Yet the added granularity of securities policies creates significant complexity.

Presented by renowned industry expert Professor Avishai Wool, this technical webinar will provide strategies and best practices to help organizations migrate and manage security policies efficiently within a micro-segmented data center.

When going through a merger/acquisition or a divesture process, companies typically need to move some of their applications to a different data center or to the cloud, merge duplicate applications, or replicate applications to new entities, and decommission the unnecessary ones in order to streamline operations and costs.

In practice, firewall policies will need to be changed or migrated to support the new connectivity, applications, servers and often new firewalls – without creating security risks, outages or compliance violations. This is a very complex project that, if not planned and implemented properly, can have a very serious impact on business operations.

Presented by Edy Almer, AlgoSec’s VP of Products, this new technical webinar will discuss best practices and a real-life use case, which will demonstrate how companies can successfully manage application connectivity through an M&A or divestiture process.

Key topics include how to:

- Automatically discover and map existing application connectivity flows prior to making any changes
- Proactively assess the impact of every change to ensure it does not break connectivity, affect compliance or create a security hole
- Define and execute the necessary security policy changes for traditional firewalls and cloud security controls
- Deliver unified security policy management across the new enterprise environment

As part of your organization’s security policy management best practices, firewall rules must be reviewed and recertified regularly to ensure security, compliance and optimal firewall performance. Firewall rules which are out of date, unused or unnecessary should be removed, as firewall bloat creates gaps in your security posture, causes compliance violations, and impacts firewall performance.
Manual firewall rule recertification, however, is an error-prone and time-consuming process.
